Crown of Thorns and Jesus Christ

Image from JJBA SBR by Araki

Cursed Tool "Crown of Thorns": A crown made of a thorn bush that, when worn on the head, stabs into the person just enough to attach firmly - meaning it can be removed with enough force. It allows up to a 1.5* increase in ct output (or 1.5* physicality for one with a body enhancing heavenly restriction, since it's their "technique"). The downside is if the wearer uses more than 100% their current ct output through the crown (meaning it doesn't affect black flash or other binding vows) the thorns slowly dig in (speed based on output), but they loosen when output goes back to normal. The main issue is the pain of the thorns causing difficulty focusing, it most likely won't kill as much as it will impede focus. Jesus' consciousness is inside the crown and he can talk to the wearer telepathically. This tool was made by Jesus, since he was a sorcerer with the Cursed Technique "Alchemy" which allowed transformation of objects - which explains the water to wine and multiplying bread. Crown of Thorns was made by infusing all his ce and ct into the crown he was wearing when he was crucified. The crown can reject someone by digging the thorns in until the person dies. It can also produce a small stream of rce when not worn, which it used to deter cursed spirits. The crown uses Alchemy by, upon destruction (since it can be destroyed), turning a random or nearest thorn bush into a new Crown of Thorns. The multiplier can be chosen by the wearer mentally, between 1 and 1.5 - with higher output increasing thorn digging speed. Jesus also gains the wearer's memories.

Maximum Technique "Resurrection," the pinnacle of Alchemy: When worn by someone that consents to and encourages resurrection (meaning basically telling Jesus to take them), the thorns will dig in until the person dies permanently and they will be taken over by Jesus (literally). Activated by saying "Lord Jesus Christ, have no mercy on me." This activates Alchemy and changes their body into Jesus' prime form. This has only happened once so far - referencing Jesus' singular resurrection - to have him fight special grade curses a long time ago. Jesus can use the wearer and his own technique, while also gaining the wearer's ce with his own. Jesus can't activate this himself, even if the person subconsciously wants it, requiring vocalized consent. The tool has Jesus' soul in it, which is why this works. This fuses Jesus' and the wearer's soul, with Jesus being the dominant one.

Sorcerer "Jesus Christ" (does this count as an OC?)

Cursed Technique "Alchemy": Jesus' cursed technique allows him to transform anything that lacks a soul - unless the thing with the soul consents to it or is dead, then it can act like idle transfiguration. The transformation must follow the rules of conservation of mass and energy. He can use the technique on himself. Activated upon ce infusion through touch with any part of himself, including his blood. Can only manipulate things he has infused ce into through touch and requires deep understanding of the materials being manipulated.

Technique Reversal "Static": Expends a constant stream of rce to make something static, immovable, and unchangeable upon touch. A person that is static doesn't age, can't move, and can't be hurt until Static is deactivated.

Technique Uses: Mimic Overhaul by making spikes or barriers from the ground, condense air into a barrier, heal himself (like idle transfiguration), control his body (reshaping it to mimic moving), stab someone by turning their clothing into a deathtrap, mimic and use all blood manipulation techniques with his own blood.

Anti-domain: His anti-domain is more blunt than expected. The technique is called "Spiritual Refuge" and is an incredibly small simple domain with no special properties in exchange for high durability on its outside.

Jesus' Feats: Healed a man that was born blind, cured leprosy, healed a paralytic let down through a roof, and healed a woman with internal bleeding using Alchemy and rct. Has performed/assisted over thousands of grade 2 and below exorcisms. Used Alchemy to turn a small amount of bread and fish into enough to feed thousands - done by transforming plants, carcasses, and his own flesh. Walked on water by using Alchemy to repel himself off of it. Fought tens of special grades alone for six and six nights straight, finally resting on the seventh day, this was done after his first and last resurrection.

Jesus' Subconscious Vows: No domain expansion for enhanced ce and ct efficiency. No black flashes for enhanced body, ce, and ct efficiency. He can pray while doing a technique to increase output to 120%, mainly used during Spiritual Refuge.

Jesus' CE: He has the highest reserves ever, but his output is only above average, making him a marathon sorcerer. Incredibly high, around medium-high special grade level efficiency. He can produce, output, and manipulate rce with similar efficiency to ce, but it still has the unavoidable rct cost.

Jesus' Body/Mind: He's extremely fit and at his prime, comparable to a sixth of Toji's physicality before the use of ce reinforcement. He also has over 3,000 years of experience due to his long existence and being worn by/communicating to hundreds of different types of sorcerers and absorbing their memories. He is completely aware of his soul and can shape and protect it using Alchemy or heal it with rct. He can use the Crown of Thorns himself when revived, with minimal downsides due to his high pain tolerance.

Blood Manipulation Reversal

Everyone's heard theories before. Some say it's controlling others' blood, some say it doesn't have a reversal. I have my own idea.

We could all agree that Blood Manipulation is a technique that has blood go from point A to point B, right? Well, what if the reversal is having blood go from point B back to point A?

Imagine the possibilities: reversing actions, having piercing blood come back like a linear boomerang, getting recently lost blood back.

Wouldn't this work and make sense? Or am I missing something?

Cursed Technique "Adaptation"

My idea for the most complicated and difficult to learn learnable technique (also my first ever post on reddit)

"Adaptation": A technique made by a man who saw Mahoraga and desired a similar ability, spending years making it. It functions like Mahoraga's adaptation but with specific requirements.

Requirement 1, Tool: The Adaptation user must have a cursed tool, with the technique usually failing when the tool breaks since the tool acts as a "replacement" for Mahoraga's wheel, the tool also gains any adaptation that the user gains. Tool grade - a fourth grade cursed tool would mean more cursed energy required for Adaptation, while a special grade tool would greatly lessen energy needed for Adaptation. The tool can be anything, meaning it could be a sword, glasses, clothing, etc. The tool can be repaired, but doesn't work - or works worse, as in costing more ce - while broken. A tool isn't absolutely required, but Adaptation is incredibly expensive without one, with even a grade four tool helping.

Requirement 2, Understanding: The user must understand everything about a phenomenon to use Adaptation against it. Resistance/negation - the amount of resistance/negation can be chosen from 1% to 100%, with higher percentage costing more energy. Though, with enough practice, Adaptation can be activated with partial knowledge, with the maximum Adaptation % being based on knowledge, like only knowing 43% of a phenomenon means a maximum of 43% adaptation. Activation with partial knowledge costs more - having only 50% knowledge means using 1-25-50% adaptation costs the same as 2-50-100%. Understanding can be gained through reading, seeing, experiencing, or sensing the phenomenon, this means it can be done outside of fighting through study but can only be completed through experience.

Ce cost: Ce cost is a constant drain while an adaptation is active. The more complex or powerful the thing being adapted to is, the higher the cost, with the most expensive adaptations being for the soul, anti-techniques like jacobs ladder, and domains, with the easiest adaptation being physical attacks. Vagueness - more vague adaptations cost more energy, meaning adaptation to physical force costs more than adaptation to blunt force

Domain adaptation: Adapting to a domain requires Adaptation to have full 100% resistance of the domain through full understanding of it before the user gets trapped inside, since any less than 100% and Adaptation will be unusable in the domain. Domain rules - 100% adaptation would mean immunity to the rules, allowing the user to do something like attacking in Higuruma's domain by having attacks be perceived as not violent or be immune to infinite void by having information processed and pushed out through their tool.

How: Adaptation is done through the reshaping of the user's cursed energy - which uses a binding vow to become the shape required to adapt. The user also has enhanced ce manipulation by proxy, which can allow easier learning of other learnable techniques. Training is done by making ce take different shapes over and over.

Reversal: Adaptation doesn't have a defined reversal, but rct is used if it's needed to adapt to a phenomenon. An Adaptation user usually has rct due to how Adaptation works with its requirements.

Maximum Technique "Material": The act of changing ce properties consciously, like making ce act like water, fire, razors, or rock. Requires understanding of the materials and costs twice the ce amount as required to be resistant to the material.

Limits: Adaptation can allow resistance to any attack and ability to pierce any defense when adapted to said offense or defense. Adaptation cannot grant resistance to absolute rules of reality like death. Someone that recently learned Adaptation will have limited abilities, probably at most being able to adapt to physical attacks and basic ce reinforcement, while more skilled users can do anything described above.

In short: Mahoraga's adaptation but much more situational and costly.
